Wire weaving workshop at Peter’s Valley School of Craft August 26-30, 2022
Online Sculptural Wire Weaving: 9 session workshop Sundays 12pm-2pm Eastern time, September 25-November 20, 2022:
Explore the possibilities of wire weaving for sculpture. Using variations on traditional wire basketry techniques, participants will learn multiple weaves to make everything from tiny baskets to large scale installations. Particular attention will be paid to pattern and line quality in 3D work. Possibilities for including found objects and mixed media will be covered, as well as how to incorporate wire work into your other studio work. No fibers or basketry experience necessary. Each class will include demonstrations, feedback on the previous week’s work, group work time, and individual check-ins. The first ~6 weeks will focus on learning the techniques, weeks 7-8 will focus on individual projects with one-on-one feedback and guidance, and the last class will be a group critique and discussion of individual next steps. All classes will be recorded for viewing by students on a private YouTube channel and will be available from the day after each class though the end of January 2023.
